I enjoy the reading responce part of the lesson. I have a creative side and like to do crafts and things. I work with students who dont read at all or read at a very low level. One year we studied Sea Life and we made a giant book that the students colored and added information that they learned. Another thing we do is make puppets and act out the story or even add to it and make another chapter to the book. You can really get a feel for what the children have learned Drawing and acting out can help the students demonstrate what they know with out having to write it down.

I like all the stories really but the sweetest fig probably topped the list. It was easy to understand and I think I could have fun doing a project with it.
